Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 180 Concubine Su (3)

  Lu Mingyu knew Su Zhaorong too well.

   You don't need to observe or speculate, you can guess what kind of malicious thoughts Su Zhaorong is planning.

  Lu Mingyu's gaze fell on Su Zhaorong's face, and her voice was neither high nor low: "Congratulations to Su Zhaorong. However, the decree of the phoenix is ​​not clear, and it is inappropriate to change now. If you think about it, Su Zhaorong will not mind."

   All the courage that Su Zhaorong mustered faded the moment he touched Lu Mingyu's indifferent gaze with a hint of coolness, the panic of being stared at by a beast that would die at any time without a burial place, quickly grabbed her chest. Take a breath.

  Su Zhaorong's pale complexion was hidden from everyone's eyes.

   Even Queen Qiao was a little surprised.

   Strange to say.

  Lu Mingyu and Su Zhaorong were not quite right from the first time they met. It's like encountering an enemy in a previous life.

   After Lu Mingyu married into the Tian family, he only met Su Zhaorong on the day of serving tea, and strictly speaking, he didn't even say a word. There were only a few people in the Jiaofang Hall today, and everyone could see how Su Zhaorong was treating Lu Mingyu differently.

   Queen Joe coughed softly.

  Lu Mingyu smiled slightly, bowed to Su Zhaorong, and then took a seat at the signal of Queen Qiao.

Queen Qiao spoke again about Su Zhaorong's promotion to the concubine position: "... This palace will issue an decree later that there will be a palace banquet in the harem in two days, don't forget to back up the generous gifts, and congratulate Concubine Su. "

  Lu Mingyu should be with a smile.

   A respectful and docile "I am an obedient daughter-in-law".

  Su Zhaorong rolled his eyes in his heart.

   Anyway, with Lu Mingyu around, Su Zhaorong was not in the mood to wait any longer. After sitting for a while, he got up and left.

   Concubine Qin had other thoughts and quickly got up and left.

  …

   Concubine Meng Gui smiled pointedly and said, "Concubine Qin will definitely go to Shouning Palace to serve the Empress Dowager for lunch. She has been respectful and filial for more than ten years, no wonder the Empress Dowager loves her!"

   Queen Qiao said lightly: "Bengong is busy with palace affairs every day, and I feel comforted by Qin's filial piety to the Queen Mother on behalf of Bengong."

   Concubine Meng Gui replied without a smile: "What the Empress said is true. Maybe there will be another happy event in the palace soon."

   Concubine Qin's thoughts, of course, Concubine Meng Gui can guess.

   As soon as Su Zhaorong was promoted to the concubine position, he was on an equal footing with Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin was unhappy, and she definitely wanted to go to the Queen Mother Zhao's ear to blow air and add a title. No matter what, he had to press Su Zhaorong on his head.

   For Queen Qiao, whoever gets promoted in the harem is not so happy.

   Queen Qiao glanced at Concubine Meng Gui and said casually, "This palace is also looking forward to more happy events in the palace."

   Concubine Meng wanted to provoke, but Lu Mingyu's voice rang out: "I heard that the people of Yang Gong live in the Yanxi Palace. Why didn't the concubine bring the people of Yang Gong with them today?"

   Concubine Meng: "..."

   This was interrupted suddenly, and Concubine Meng Gui smiled. When I reacted, I felt a little unhappy in my heart.

  The fact that the people from the Yang Palace were brought into the Yanxi Palace to raise their babies was of course discordant with etiquette. Concubine Meng Gui would never admit that her hands were too long, and she kept reaching into her son's house to stir up the storm.

   Therefore, although Concubine Meng was proud of the fact that Yang Gongren was pregnant, she did not want anyone to bring up this topic at will.

   Not to mention, Lu Mingyu's provocative appearance is very leisurely.

   Concubine Meng Gui glanced at Lu Mingyu lightly: "I'm talking to the Empress, there's no room for juniors to intervene. The second prince and concubine should also learn the rules."

   In an ordinary family, the father-in-law's concubine, even a noble concubine, can't show the family tree in front of the daughter-in-law.

   When you arrive at Tianjia, all the concubines in the palace are of high grade. Concubine Meng Gui didn't even pay attention to Queen Qiao, she was a little jealous of Lu Mingyu, and she would never give in.

  Lu Mingyu smiled slowly and said: "I learned the rules of the palace before I got married. After getting married, my mother didn't pick and dislike me. It's surprising that the imperial concubine attaches so much importance to the rules."

   "According to the rules of the palace, a palace servant who is pregnant in the First Prince's Mansion should raise the baby in the First Prince's Mansion, and should not enter the palace."

   "Could it be that this is a unique rule in Yanxi Palace?"

   Concubine Meng Gui's expression darkened, and she glared at Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu didn't see it, looked at Queen Qiao, and asked curiously: "Empress mother, daughter-in-law has a short time to get married, and she doesn't understand many things. Are the rules in Yanxi Palace different from other places? ?"

Empress Qiao looked at Concubine Meng Gui's not-so-sweet face, and was very happy in her heart, and replied with a gentle face: "The palace rules are based on the previous dynasty. According to the palace rules, the Yanxi Palace is no exception."

  Lu Mingyu showed a stunned look, and then looked at Concubine Meng with a half-smile.

   Concubine Meng was furious when her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law jointly ran the money.

   Queen Qiao's approach is gentler, but it does not mean that she is easy to bully.

   In the past, it was an equal share, with winners and losers. Now there is a sharp-tongued Lu Mingyu, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sing together, and she is suddenly at a disadvantage by herself.

   Concubine Meng Gui replied without a smile: "These things are all approved by the emperor. The rules in Yanxi Palace are always different from other places in the palace."

   This time, it was Queen Qiao's turn to be angry.

   Concubine Meng Gui is pampering her and raising the banner of Emperor Yongjia to oppress people.

   Actually, Concubine Meng was right. In this harem, the Yanxi Palace is protected by Emperor Yongjia, and many rules do not have to be followed.

Lu Mingyu smiled lightly: "A flower is not as bright as a hundred days, and a person is not as good as a thousand days. A beauty is easy to grow old, and there is always a day when one's color fades. When people are proud, they should also look farther, so as not to be unbearable when they are disappointed. The situation. The noble concubine, do you think it is true or not?"

   Concubine Meng's complexion suddenly changed.

   The red face is easy to get old, and the color fades and loves relaxation.

   These words, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into her heart.

   Her status, status and scenery all came from the protection and favor of Emperor Yongjia. In addition to being proud of the scenery, it is impossible to have no worries in the bottom of my heart. She is in her thirties, and no matter how she takes care of her, she gradually loses her freshness and beauty.

   And Emperor Yongjia was in his prime, and he was the emperor of Wei. You can sit on the harem beauties. If one day, Emperor Yongjia will change his mind. Until then……

  Lu Mingyu asked with a smile, "Why is your concubine's face so ugly all of a sudden? Could it be what I said just now, what's wrong?"

   Concubine Meng Gui got up suddenly, her eyes fixed on Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu didn't move, and there was a hint of surprise on his face: "It's just a few gossip, why is the imperial concubine so excited? If I said something wrong, the imperial concubine may wish to make it clear, and I will accompany the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is an elder, don't care about me as a junior."
